I'd like to think this is the bird in the gospel song:
What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Concerning a great speckled bird.
It cometh descending from heaven
On the pages of God's holy word.
However, having seen a nightmare version of a blue jay child in its early
adolescence, my guess is that the splotchity bird in the pic is a juvenile robin growing into her or his plumage. Birders, yea or nay? I hope this guy only needs some Clearisil rather than major surgery or a feather transplant.
I love his coloring.
ReplyDeleteDid I tell you I recently put up a bird feeder AND hummingbird feeder? I'm telling you, hours of pleasure!
PA, you know I entirely get the pleasure part! Had a Baltimore Oriole for about 43 seconds a couple weeks ago, and holy crap, better than winning the lottery.
